I worked the information booth at the Moving Wall Friday morning and I’m sure a lot of people felt the same way seeing the wall for the first time. The fact that it has to be so huge in order to list 58,000 names. The fact that you can find that name you are looking for, the fact that war is so never to go away. The fact that this Wall is able to move so that people can look on it/ and see our past. The fact that I can say thank you to the people who were able to bring this to our valley. I was so taken with reflection, I came back to volunteer Monday, June 17.
